There is a big difference between forclosures in "the murder capital of the world" and every other US city. This article is about forclosures in the worst part of chicago and doesnt represent the country as a whole.

I sold every rental, and kept only property I own free and clear. If one cannot outrun a steamroller of unknown size, duration and impact, it is far better to liquidate risk and preserve wealth, than to gamble. I trade, but I only gamble when I drive on public roads.
